Holland Boulevard

Wandering through the Dutch polder landscape while at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. The landscape was the inspiration behind the new Holland Boulevard, an international departures hall designed by NEXT and that now comprises various typical Dutch-inspired sitting rooms. These rooms are separated by low walls; together, they form the horizon of this vast space of 5,000 m2. Each sitting room has a different atmosphere and ambiance and so the Holland Boulevard takes visitors on a real voyage of discovery.
The Holland Boulevard is unique to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. In addition to the commercial areas, passengers can visit the NEMO Science Centre, a library and the Rijksmuseum's new glass pavilion. It also features the work of various Dutch designers. For example, Florentijn Hofman created two huggable works of art for the boulevard and Samira Boon weaved an abstract landscape that is 16m in length. Holland Boulevard is a calling card for the kinds of things that the Dutch can be proud of.
